4 reasons it works
Pep Melt
“It comes out like this. It's like a pretty little flower.”Mindy Kaling
Twist the jar and the balm rises through the top. It melts away makeup, sweat and SPF, then turns into a milk with water and rinses clean.
97% agreed it removes dirt and oil.* Named Best Cleansing Balm in the PEOPLE Beauty Awards 2026.
